    Portable Power Generators

    Supply power to equipment in the field. A favorite of contractors, they’re portable enough to toss on a truck bed or push like a wheelbarrow. Built to last—the engine self-lubricates and shuts off when oil runs low.

    2,200 W Maximum Continuous Watts—With a current as stable as a home outlet, these lightweight generators convert between DC and AC power to avoid power spikes. When power demands decrease, the engine slows down to save you gas. These low engine speed and the hard plastic shell around the engine make them as quiet as a dishwasher. Use a single generator for tasks under 2,200 watts, or chain two together when you need to double your output.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Generators cannot be sold to the listed areas due to import regulations and emissions requirements.

    The toughest generators we offer. The diesel engine lasts longer and is more fuel efficient than a gasoline-powered one, so you’ll save money over time. Great for outdoor jobs in winter—they start and operate in temperatures below freezing. Hook your crane onto the steel frame’s lifting eye to move them around your site or to secure them off the ground at night.

    Keep batteries charged even when electricity is unavailable. These solar panel chargers maintain 12V lead-acid batteries in two panel styles.
    Rigid—Use the terminal clamps to connect directly to battery posts without tools. You can also use the included vehicle connection to charge your battery through the 12V socket.
    Flexible—With marine-grade ring terminals that stand up to water and weather, these solar panels are suitable for boats, RVs, and other vehicles exposed to the elements.
    Automatic Charger—Automatic chargers provide a low-level charge to maintain the battery without overcharging.

    Large-Area Mobile Floodlights with Power Generator

    Image of Attribute. Side2 orientation. Contains Annotated. Large-Area Mobile Floodlights with Power Generator.
    As bright as stadium lights, these floodlights are the most powerful in our offering—they’ll brighten jobsites half the size of a football field. They run on a diesel generator you can use to power other lights and tools in the field. Also known as light towers, they rise up to 23 ft. To direct light where you want it, pivot any of the four heads. You can also rotate the mast, even if it’s already raised.
    Rated IP65, these floodlights are protected against dust and low-pressure washdowns. That means rain won’t be a problem. They’ll also handle winds up to 65 mph. Just secure the hitch and two side supports to the ground with the attached leveling jacks. These floodlights will work in the cold, but not in subzero temperatures.
    For towing from jobsite to jobsite, these floodlights have a trailer with a ball hitch and tongue. They also come with safety chains, which have a 7,800-lb. load capacity. The trailer’s lights are D.O.T. approved for road use.
